    Extremely normal. This is why “percussive maintenance” always works.

    So Nick is now in 3 places at once: flying in his body (probably bouncing off a satellite), his meat peripheral and in Aimee’s World!

      GPU allocation for meatspace is clearly being throttled in the last panel.

    Come on, Nick, you already forgetting that you’re metal, not meat? Getting a girlfriend has made you soft.

      That’s not what she said.

        Rephrase that… “Made you soft….. eventually.”

    Quite dangerous (for the server) considering what he did to Baron a few days ago

    My degree in computers lets me see the world as a stream of zeroes and ones, like in the Matrix. What does your degree allow you to do?

      My degree in degrees lets me see the world as degrees between 0 and 1.

        Is that degrees or radians?

      That seems so binary…

      MY forty years experience of software development (and degree) tells me that there are NO ones or zeros in a computer, only as a concept in your consciousness. There are representations of binary states, which it is a convenient shorthand to think of as “ONE”s and “ZERO”s, but “one” and “zero” are numeric values which themselves do not exist in the computer, only as a mental concept. Please kill this egregious Big Lie! Harrumph! The stuff they teach kids these days!

        And yet two’s complement binary subtraction remains a neat trick! πŸ˜‰

        Besides, it’s the fault of us greybeards for leaving holes punched in paper tape… “Where’s the spool with STTRK9 on it?”

        The 1 and 0 are on the outside, usually on a little red switch in the back. πŸ™‚ I used to work with a team from DEC (yep, I’m old enough for Hollerith cards) who would cycle the power to fix problems. Their management got tired of seeing “Cycled power” in the maintenance logs, so to satisfy them, the techs started writing “Inserted 0 into power supply register” (i.e pushed the 0 on the switch, which just happened to cycle the power.)

    For some reason, I hear Gomer Pyle saying “Surprise! Surprise! Surprise!”

    Probably didn’t have to even lay his hand on the server.

      Unless he’s using NFC.

    I was hoping the interface would be fingers in the Baron’s nostrils.

      For Nick’s sake, I’m glad you’re wrong.

        So long as the part that interfaces with Baron M. isn’t the part Nick uses to interface with Dr. Lee.

          If so, he would have to find that bottle of tequila first.

    So, when Tip submits his reports, they are done on a manual Underwood? Or maybe a Royal?

      It’s easier to fill out the carbons in quadruplicate with a manual typewriter.

      He can type on a Smith Corona while having a Corona.

    I like that both Tip and Nick have interests/ideals that almost perfectly limit each others’ ability to appreciate what the other is exceptional at.

      Agreed. They’d make a great spinoff comic as private investigators.
